Waterfowl Superpowers

Join us as we learn about the cool and unique superpowers that waterfowl have! We will explore unique adaptations such as counter current blood flow to help keep the feet warm, feather styles adapted for warmth, flight, and courtship displays, and webbed foot styles for all environments.

We will investigate:
